This road appears to be a certainty. Its route is from Lafayette to Montmorenci, thence north through Round Grove anu West Point townships 'to Wolcott and Rensselaer,, where it turns west to Kankakee, 111. There it connects with an electric line from Chicago to Kankakee. Ten surveyors have been at work since October and the final survey has already been made as far as the state line west of Rensselaer.
